NTRODUCTION/f 

This  little  book  will  point  out,  as  you  go  up  and 
down  Boston  streets,  the  points  of  historic  inter- 
est. It  will  show  you  here  and  there  the  scene  of 
some  national  episode;  some  event  of  local  in- 
terest ;  the  place,  perchance,  where  one  of  the 
history-makers  was  born,  lived,  or  worked.  It 
will  present  in  a  scattered  way  much  of  Boston's 
interesting  story,  much  that  is  known  only  to 
the  student  of  history,  much  that  may  be  an 
inspiration  in  raising  Boston  to  a  higher  civic 
level. 

It  does  not  aim  to  be  a  complete  record  of  all 
the  historic  sites,  but  of  those  only  which  are,  or 
have  been  at  some  time,  marked  by  inscriptions; 
and  it  allows  the  inscriptions  to  tell  their  own 
story.  It  presents  a  panoramic  sketch  of  Boston. 
The  arrangement,  for  the  sake  of  convenience, 
follows  the  lines  of  the  different  streets,  so  that 
one,  in  going  through  State,  Washington,  Han- 
over, or  Tremont  Street,  may  readily  locate  the 
points  of  interest.  Perhaps  this  brochure  may 
lead  to  the  permanent  markings  of  all  Boston's 
historic  sites.  It  is  presented  to  you  with  the 
compliments  of  the  State  Street  Trust  Company.
